British Investment in Indonesia

Britain has been a major investor in Indonesia since before independence. Some British companies in Indonesia can trace their origins to more than a century ago. Few other foreign countries have had a longer history of investing in Indonesia than Britain. During even some of the most challenging years of Indonesia’s history, British companies have maintained their commitment. Cumulatively, Britain is among the very largest foreign investors in Indonesia and has stakes across a wide range of sectors including oil and natural gas exploration and production; banking, insurance and financial services; agribusiness; manufacturing aerospace; consumer goods; large scale retail; hotels and tourism; power generation plantations; motor vehicle production and real estate development. Many of these companies are long established and very successful. Currently the interest of UK companies in investing in Indonesia is as high as it has been since the mid 1990’s. BritCham ??s latest Business Confidence Index Survey (BCIS) has confirmed that the business outlook of British companies in Indonesia is very positive. The launch this year of the UK-ASEAN Business Council is a reflection of the level of enthusiasm for investing in the region and especially in Indonesia.
